Thank you for suggesting and working with Anki, André  -

and thank you Jonathan, for programming to work with it -

The tutorials will be great -

PS. I suddenly realized that both you and Jonathan Duncan are Canadians… and I believe that Jonathan’s wife is French-Canadian? - is that right, Jonathan? What a coincidence ;-))
